Hey guys! 
          	
          	Just a message to let you know that I exist and am still writing, just not posting. I have a few things to let you know about:
          	I most likely will not be continuing Crossroads. 
          	It's very painful for me to say but it feels a bit wrong now that he's actually got a wife and baby on the way, and while I still love the story, I've just lost the motivation to write it.
          	Also, I may be taking down Questions (are you noticing a trend here?). 
          	I'm not really into writing fan fiction anymore, and mainly because it's frowned upon in the literary community. It's a lot of fun to write but I'm entering the age where I'm looking to get work published (once it's finished), and I've heard too many stories where an author gets dragged and not taken seriously by the industry because someone found fanfic they wrote years ago. Thanks for understanding, guys.

Hey
          
          You know that thing I said I wouldn't do, the whole "drop off the face of the earth without ever updating" thing? That thing I said I wouldn't do?
          
          Oops.
          
          I'm really sorry about that. Finals are kicking my butt and I've felt so dead inspiration wise. It's kind of hard to write about something like this, considering BENEDICT IS NOW ENGAGED. (who else is excited? I am!)
          
          But I don't want to just leave this story unfinished, so I will work on it when I get time, but I don't know when that is. I'm so sorry, and for those of you that have stuck around, bless you. I'm just stuck in a rut (again) and I just need motivation. Thank you for your patience.

Waiting for you to update is like waiting for the next season of Sherlock. The wait is terribly long, then we get this perfect beautiful thing which also simultaneously makes us want to cry and hide in a corner.

Hello guys, I would just like you to know that while I am done with finals (HALLELUJAH), Crossroads will still have fairly slow updates. Mostly because I like to put a lot of work into a chapter before I release it into the public viewing eye. Just letting you know xx

Winnepeng

HALLELUJAH INDEED *glomps*
            
            It doesn't matter, I personally prefer quality over quantity anyway. ;P xx
            
            *glomps again, just b'cos i can.*

I FINALLY updated Crossroads! 
          
          Sorry for the long wait, and it's not even that long of a chapter (sorry about that too) but if you've been reading my messages, you'll know I've been under stress lately. But thank you for being so patient and I just really hope you like the chapter. 
          
          Sorry for the delay, and I hope that I never take that long for an update ever again.

Hi guys, how are you?
          
          If you've been asking yourself "Oh my gosh when will she update?!" The answer is, I don't know. I sound a bit like a broken record, but I haven't had any time at all to write due to homework and midterms and whatnot. I think that things are picking up, but I'm not sure. I'm kind of failing a class so I need to get caught up. I'll try to write when I get a bit of free time but I'm not sure when I'll have that. 
          
          Until then, stay fabulous. Sorry for such a delay, I feel awful.
